It's been a long, long time since I sat in front of my computer and had a good deep-down belly laugh as I did after reading this. I picture your Uncle Stan as being "quite the character". Yes, indeed.
I'm just glad nobody walked in as I was reading this hilarious anecdote....they'd o' thought I lost it for sure!
Good job, Bonnie.

Paul--
A character he was indeed. My mother was terrified I was going to be the biggest rebel that ever lived with Uncle Stan's outlook because I loved him so much.
I think she is partly right!!hahahaha

There's nothing better than a good fish story and this one was delightful! As for me I have hooked people, and I've been hooked. I think it's part of being initiated as a fisherman/woman. Ya think?
